Ziziphora is a plant used in Turkish and Iran traditional medicine for its antibacterial activity, sedative and stomach soothing properties. Although the chemical profile of the essential oil of different Ziziphora species is well documented, data regarding plant extracts are incomplete. In this study extracts from Ziziphora taurica subsp. cleonioides were obtained using ethyl acetate, methanol and water and the chemical profile of the aerial part of the plant was elucidated. Among the compounds identified, rosmarinic acid was the most abundant (3375.67 +/- 38.02 mu g/mL), at the extract of methanol, followed by chlorogenic acid (3225.10 +/- 16.44). Enzyme inhibition activity against alpha-amylase and tyrosinase was also estimated. The ethyl acetate extract showed the highest alpha-amylase activity (1.95 +/- 0.04 mg/mL), while the best anti-tyrosinase activity was calculated for the methanolic extract (1.25 +/- 0.01 mg/mL). In addition, total phenolic, flavonoid content and antioxidant activity were evaluated. According to our results, bioactivity of the plant is of great interest, nonetheless, at the same time, it is strongly depended on the solvent used during the extraction process. Our data suggest that the plant under study may be an important source to consider against metabolic, skin pigmentation and oxidative stress related disorders.

Comparative effects of emodin on biological activities of MCF-7 and MDA-231 cell lines Sakallı, Elif; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biochemistry (2010) Emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) is a phytoestrogenic component of Rheum plant extracts which has been used for medical treatment since ancient times. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. In our research, we aimed to study the biological effects of emodin on MCF-7 and MDA-231 cell lines. Cytotoxicity assays showed that emodin treatment for 48hours caused a concentration dependent decrease in viable cell numbers of both cell lines. As determined by cell counting...
Optimization of hypericin extraction from hypericum perforatum L. tissues and evaluation of its applicability in dye-sensitized solar cells / Aktuna, Özge; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Eyidoğan, Füsun İnci; Department of Biotechnology (2014) Medicinal plants which have been widely used in folk medicine are known to contain important biologically active compounds. Hypericum perforatum is one of the medicinal plants that grows in Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa and is distinguished by its golden yellow flowers. The common name of the plant is St. John’s wort. As a practical folk-remedy, it has been used widely to heal wounds, remedy kidney troubles, and alleviate nervous disorders. Nowadays, many application areas of hypericin are discov...
Investigation of antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of Plantago major leaves Kaya, Özge; Çoruh, Nursen; Sağdıçoğlu Celep, A. Gülçin; Department of Biochemistry (2011) This study was designed to investigate Plantago major leaves, which is widely used in ethnobotanical uses in Turkey as is the case in all over the world, for their antioxidant capacities and antimicrobial effect on two gram-positive and two gramnegative bacteria. Extracts of P. major leaves prepared in the methanol and fraction samples were collected in solvents in increasing polarity, from non-polar to polar, to separate bioactive compound in crude extract. Antioxidant capacities of the crude extracts and ...
Bioactivity-guided isolation of cytotoxic secondary metabolites from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra and elucidation of their mechanisms of action Cevik, Dicle; Yilmazgoz, S. Burcin; KAN, YÜKSEL; Guzelcan, Ece Akhan; Durmaz, Irem; Atalay, Rengül; KIRMIZIBEKMEZ, HASAN (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-15) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is one of the most widely used plants worldwide for its various pharmacological activities. The aim of this study was to isolate the potential cytotoxic secondary metabolites from the MeOH extract prepared from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra through bioactivity-guided isolation procedure and to elucidate their mechanisms of action. The crude MeOH extract as well as CHCl3 and EtOAc subextracts significantly inhibited cell proliferation on hepatocelullar (Huh7), breast (MCF7)...
Comparison of acid and enzymatic hydrolysis of tobacco stalk xylan for preparation of xylooligosaccharides AKPINAR, ÖZLEM; Erdogan, Kader; Bakir, Ufuk; Yılmaz, Levent (2010-01-01) Tobacco stalk (TS), a major agricultural waste in the Black Sea region of Turkey, was used for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOs). It contains about 22 g/100 g xylan whose composition was determined as 93.5 g/100 g xylose, 6.54 g/100 g glucose and 11.2 g/100 g uronic acid after complete acid hydrolysis. XO production was performed by enzymatic and acid hydrolysis of xylan which was obtained by alkali extraction from tobacco stalk. In enzyme hydrolysis, xylan was hydrolyzed using a xylanase prepara...
